Pride and Prejudice Ball 2016

O. M. G.

I've scarcely had time to sleep let alone to write! What an adventure the past few months have been. After the May Regency Costume Fair I met so many lovely new clients! Gowns and tailcoats were ordered. Fabric purchased. Mock ups were made and fitted.

And then at the second Costume Fair in September I had more inquiries about custom gowns! With the ball fast approaching I hunkered down and put the pedal to the metal, so to speak. I don't think I've ever sewn so fast in my life! I made 35 custom pieces, all due and worn in one weekend. That doesn't include in the various reticules and cravats I made, or any fans or feathers.

I'm pleasantly overwhelmed by the abundance! It was a joy to meet with so many lovely people just as crazy as I am who want to join our Regency events. How lovely it is to grow our community in such an immense way, and in such a short time no less!

We managed take group shots both evenings, which I'll post at a later date once they are available.

For now I'll leave you with this gem. (Do please see Nanc Price's beautiful photos here: Saturday Photos . I'm so pleased to have her as the photographer for this event!)
